The Cape Horn Breed by Captain William H.S. Jones charts a boy’s climb from windjammer apprentice to seasoned master mariner, rounding the world’s fiercest cape and later surveying Australia’s coasts. His 328-page memoir pulses with salt, canvas, and colonial-era ports, a vivid true story for sailors and armchair adventurers alike.

This 1999 illustrated hardcover arrives jacketed, clean and unmarked save for light thumbing on the closed page edge. No inscriptions, ex-library stamps, or dog-ears—just a fresh, smoke-free volume ready for the shelf.

Vintage maritime collectors and young adults hooked on real-life high-seas drama will relish Jones’s firsthand accounts of square-rigger life, wartime convoys, and Australian marine surveying. A sturdy edition that invites rereading without the worry of fragile first-printing prices.
